49. That is exactly what the right has done

They dug up the term as an excuse to erase history. And here you are swallowing it whole.

The Texas textbook committees are horrific, and they have a lot of power over K-12 textbooks throughout the nation. You can put me down for not giving the right control over our children's minds, any more than they already have. You seem all too comfortable with brainwashing the nation's children. That is what your support of the right's attack is about, whether you realize it or not.
